Gear Couplings – GC

Nidec DESCH gear couplings GC are flexible shaft connections suitable for a positive torque transmission. They ensure to compensate radial, axial and angular shaft misalignments. The gear coupling is made of high quality tempered steel with grease lubrication and O-ring seal. Nidec DESCH gear couplings GC are used in all areas of mechanical engineering and offers a long service life with maximum reliability, resulting from the optimal grease lubrication of the crowned spline. The couplings are generally suitable for a horizontal assembly.

Torque range 1,920 to 8,000,000 Nm

GC-ECO – Economic standard coupling

Nidec DESCH gear couplings GC-ECO are economic and torsionally stiff shaft connections suitable for a positive torque transmission. They ensure the flexible compensation of shaft misalignments as well. The gear coupling is made of high tensile steel with grease lubrication and O-ring seal. Nidec DESCH gear couplings GC-ECO are used in all areas of mechanical engineering and offers a long service life with maximum reliability, resulting from the optimal grease lubrication of the crowned spline. The couplings are generally suitable for a horizontal assembly. Special types are suitable for vertical assembly, too.

Torque 1.900 to 200.000 Nm
